1 Service of Worship Second Sunday after the Epiphany January 20, 2013 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God The Raising of Lazarus, by Vincent Van Gogh, 1890 Today the Chapel honors the witness of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., recalling his conviction that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The service includes a litany in memory of those who lit the path of freedom. In today s lessons Isaiah proclaims words of comfort to a people wearied by exile by reminding them that God loves Israel as a bridegroom loves his bride, and that Jerusalem will become a light to all the nations. The story in John s gospel of the resurrection of Lazarus is a story of new life. Lazarus was dead for four days, and yet Jesus called him out of the tomb.

2 At the close of today s service, the Lord s Supper will be celebrated in the Memorial Chapel located to the left of the chancel. Immediately following the Lord s Supper, a service of prayer for healing will be held. The service consists of prayers for healing and wholeness, with anointing and laying on of hands. All are invited. Gathering Carillon Prelude The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

4 A Litany for Martin Luther King Sunday (The congregation responds with the text in bold.) God of justice and mercy, you have given us a great cloud of witnesses, who made the long walk to freedom, and are still a pillar of cloud marking the path today, For Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Nat Turner, Richard Allen, and all who lived and persevered through times when hope was dim, For Harriet Tubman, Ida Wells-Barnett, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Marcus Garvey, James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson, and all who dreamed the dream and gave it song, For W. E. B. du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Mary Church Terrell, Septima Clark, and all who upheld the dream through times of doubt and sorrow, For James Baldwin, Howard Thurman, Langston Hughes, Mary McLeod Bethune, and all who sustained the dream and gave it voice, For Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ella Baker, and all who lived the dream, For Paul Robeson, Fannie Lou Hamer, A. Philip Randolph, Adam Clayton Powell, Pauli Murray, and all who have carried the dream forward through times of tragedy and joy. Make us, Lord, a people who cherish the memory of the examples you lay before us; honor the struggle of those who continue to give their lives to make your dream come true; and seek through your Son to make that dream our dream, so that we too may enter the richness of your glory. Amen. Mission Announcement Offertory Praise His Holy Name! Keith Hampton (b. 1957) Sing till the power of the Lord come down. Shout Hallelujah! Praise his holy name! Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me; I once was lost, but now I m found, was blind, but now I see. Jesus, Jesus, how I love thee! Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? No, there s a cross for everyone and there s a cross for me. Let us praise his name, Hallelujah, Lord!
